Australia's bullying epidemic: How you can help make a difference

Following The Feed's special episode, you can help fight for better bullying laws by signing this Change.org petition.

Mel Tolhurst knows the impact of bullying all too well: her daughter Jessica took her life at 14 as a direct result of years of torment.

Yet she has continued to campaign for tighter laws surrounding bullying in Jessica's memory: the first step being this Change.org petition.

You can join thousands of others who are already calling for action.
